One of my chain with a size 40 has got 10ds in 1cm long. So if I were you I'd try if those two strands together do the same. (http://ninettacaruso.blogspot.it/2015/03/repetita-iuvant-at-least-to-myself.html)
Let us know how it comes out! I think that even if the strands were exactly 1/2 the diameter of size 20 that there would be thicker and thinner spots because of uneven twisting. But, that is a guess.
Thanks Margaret!! :) I am trying it currently and it seems to be going well. Just have to keep an eye on the two threads staying together and one not slacking and leaving any loops. And I am liking the size for the project I am using it for. :) Will post when finished.

Hhhmmmmmm. That's a good question. I think they would end up to be larger than 20 when put together. But I don't know why I think that?
I would think so, but I've never tried.
Larger that a #20!
I’m fairly certain I have tried it and it was very thick...
I think it would work up more like size ten or even bigger. Interesting question. I'll have to try it.

Thanks for the responses everyone!! :) I think I will try it.
I think that in theory it should be equal to 20. But try it.

Thank you both!! I was just wondering if anyone knew. :)
I think in theory it should be, it's worth a try, would you find it hard to tat with two heads at the same time on one shuttle
